Rookie-Critic's Top 25 Films of 2022: Honorable Mentions - You Won't Be Alone (dir. Goran Stolevski)

This is probably the most experimental film on the list this year. The story of a witch as she grows up in a world that she is unfamiliar with, You Won't Be Alone is an experiment in minimal storytelling and maximalist messaging that oddly works. Each of the four bodies Nevena, the witch at the film's center, inhabits is representative of a new discovery, a new way of viewing the world, and the beauty and possible danger each new thing brings. This one definitely won't be for everyone, but I found it all very moving.

Currently only available to rent or purchase through the normal means (Amazon Prime Video, Vudu, Apple Movies, etc.). Read my full review of You Won't Be Alone here.

Félix Maritaud by Alix Malka

TV: Jonas (2018)

El adulto Jonas (Felix Maritaud) camina por una senda autodestructiva: asiduo del antro “Boys Pleasure”, adonde protagoniza una pelea y del sexo casual, es expulsado de la casa y de su vida junto a su pareja Samuel (David Baiot). Todavía aflora en él el recuerdo trágico que sufrió en 1997, cuando el solitario adolescente Jonas (Nicolas Bauwen), de tan sólo quince años, comenzaba a internarse en su sexualidad tras conocer al rebelde Nathan (Tommy-Lee Baïk), que afirma haber sido expulsado de una escuela religiosa por un abuso sexual efectuado hacia él, hecho que le dejó una notoria cicatriz en una mejilla.

La relación entre ambos, que se inicia con pequeños gestos de complicidad y flirteo, se va cimentando mediante cigarrillos compartidos, juegos de Game Boy y bullying escolar y sufre un vuelco dramático cuando se encuentran con un desconocido en las afuera del “Boys Pleasure”.

El guionista y director Christophe Charrier propone, en este telefilme de origen francés, un coming-of-age angustiante sobre el primer amor y la perseverancia en la memora de las huellas insuperables de un pasado no resuelto.
